MTSW-118-11-G-D-680

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The MTSW-118-11-G-D-680 is a variable height PCB header strip manufactured by Samtec Inc. It features a 2-row configuration with 36 positions and a 2.54 mm (0.1 in) pitch. Designed for through-hole mounting, the connector utilizes gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission. The housing is constructed from black polyester material rated UL 94 V-0 for flammability. This component supports board-to-board and cable applications within an operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Variable height design allows for modified post heights and body positioning in precise increments
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts provide durable electrical connectivity
• Polyester insulation housing ensures structural stability and flame resistance

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Cable-to-board connections
• General electronic equipment assembly

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific terminal length corresponding to the suffix 680 against engineering drawings. Confirm that the variable height specifications align with the target assembly requirements. Ensure compatibility with mating socket strips such as the SSW series. Check RoHS compliance status prior to final procurement approval.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when standard fixed-height headers do not accommodate specific stack-up requirements. The variable height feature enables customization without custom tooling costs. Consider the 2.54 mm pitch for standard spacing needs. Evaluate the thermal rating to ensure suitability for the intended operational environment.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the MTSW series, which represents a variation of the classic TSW header strip. The series offers a wide range of overall pin lengths to satisfy diverse application needs. It maintains standard pricing and delivery characteristics while providing flexibility in terminal configuration.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other MTSW series variants with matching position counts and pitch. Verify that alternative parts maintain the same variable height capabilities and contact plating specifications.
